The events of Star Wars: River of Chaos comic books take place several months after the destruction of the Death Star. Emperor Palpatine sends an Imperial pilot to spy on the governor of a distant planet, M'Haeli. Although Palpatine knows of certain Rebel activity on M'Haeli, he does not know of the presence of one particular Rebel: Princess Leia Organa! Can Leia undermine the enemy from within, or is she doomed to drown in a river of chaos? This ground-breaking four-issue series takes readers behind enemy lines, to see the Rebellion through the eyes of an officer of the Empire!
